Commercial Account Executive – Consumer & Local Commercial
At Howden, we believe there are no limits—and our clients, businesses, and communities deserve limitless potential. With a relentless drive to shape the future of insurance, we’re not just writing policies. We’re rebuilding resilience, making a tangible difference. From pro bono projects to fast-tracking innovations like COVID-19 vaccine development, Howden is accelerating change.
Your Role
We’re expanding our Howden Consumer & Local Commercial team—a dynamic group that’s quadrupled in 14 years to now employ 200+ peers across the UK. As our Commercial Account Executive, you’ll:
- Build deep client relationships—engaging every day with sole traders to large MDs/CEOs.
- Work alongside your Branch Manager to hit targets, synthesising strengths from marketing, networking, and proactive client interactions.
- Act as a trusted advisor: questioning and listening intently to decode real-world risks, then crafting bespoke solutions.
- Open doors to growth by spotting new opportunities and helping clients navigate toward the best possible steps.
- Become indispensable by simply being tenacious, curious, and collaborative.
